I mentioned in a previous post that I shop Cabela's. There's a store only 15 miles from me, so Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:36:21 GMT Tom Costello http://groups.yahoo.com/group/archeryandbowhunting/message/1228 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/archeryandbowhunting/message/1228 Mark, I love Cabela¹s. ...But, I recently bought my first Compound bow, a Bowtech Tomcat from my local Dealer.

I've shot a few times at camp with my kids, and we picked up a small compound bow at a garage Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:17:17 GMT Mark Norby http://groups.yahoo.com/group/archeryandbowhunting/message/1224 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/archeryandbowhunting/message/1224 Thanks for your response. We shoot the carp with a fiberglass arrow rig-standard stuff. My younger son and I went out again today, he shot 4, I got 1.
